Parents,
It’s time to figure out who wants to play for the 3/4 grade basketball teams. In order to do this, we need several
things turned in by Wednesday, February 11th. If any one of these items are not turned in by the time the office closes
on Wednesday, February 11th, your child cannot play.
What we need in order for your child to play:
1. The Student Information form from the bottom of this sheet filled out.
2. A check made payable to “Holy Ghost Athletics” for $65.
3. A copy of the parental insurance card.
4. A Physical form filled out (not a doctor’s note, a physical form. Your doctor should have these).
5. A filled out Sport/Activity Consent form.
6. A Parent/Student Contractual Agreement filled out.
(If your child has played a sport for Holy Ghost during this school year, we should have the last 4 items already on file. You
will still need to pay the fee and fill out this form stating intent to play)
Your child will receive a 27.5” basketball at the end of the league season. That is the size basketball we will be
using. They will also be able to keep the uniform we are ordering them (shirt and shorts). I’m pretty sure the goal height
will be 9’ feet for boys and 8’6” for girls.
There will be two different types of teams that your child will be on. One will be a “Practice Team” (Practice
Team 1, Practice Team 2, etc.). The other will be a “Game Team” (Red Team, Blue Team, etc.). In order to maximize
playing time, I’ll try to keep Game Teams to 8-9 players. Practice Teams will be 12-15 players. This will allow a few
more practices for everyone.
As soon as I know who all intends to play I will assign each player to a specific Practice Team and get this info
out to you, including when your child’s team practices are as soon as I can, hopefully by Friday, February 13th. Game
Teams will not be assigned till after the first week of practicing. Coach Lanaux, who will be assisting me again this year,
will help me evaluate everyone during the first week of practices and we will assign them to different Game Teams.
Also, please check your email address on file with the office. Email will be the method I use to communicate
with you and if the email which the school has isn’t one that you check often, or if it is incorrect, you will not get critical
information. Once we get all the students who are interested, the office will make a list for me to be able to email info
about practice times, what team your child is on, etc , to you. This is the simplest way to convey information to you.
The first two weeks of the season will be strictly practices. The practice times will be as follows:
245-415
415-545
545-715
What time your child’s team practices will alternate each day. After those first two weeks, we will not practice past 545
on days in which we have no games. There will be no practices or games on weekends. All games will be at Trafton
Academy during the week. As soon as I know the game schedule I’ll get that info out to everyone.
There will be a Mardi Gras Basketball Skills Camp for 3rd and 4th graders from the 19th - 21st. There is a flyer included in this email.
